Surrogates are not a "species" born on the home planet, at least surrogates like N-6 with a high level of intelligence and an image close to humans were actually developed in the era of space exile.If there is a de jure "home" for these AIs, then their home is actually a laboratory in the constellation Zenith and a production base on the moon - in any way, they are not part of the home planet group.The people who really regard their home planet as their homeland and want to return to their homeland should actually be the humans who created the surrogate.However, human beings poured a lot of emotion into the creation of the surrogate, and in the face of the apocalyptic pressure brought by the planetary devourer, they taught everything they knew and possessed like parents educate their children, they told the surrogate how to think, how to tell the surrogate how to fight, and they instilled the concept of humanity, the culture of mankind, and the ......
The "homeland" of mankind.Over thousands of years, the Agent has incorporated the knowledge he has learned from the Creator into the depths of his own logic circuit, and has learned and absorbed it all in his own way.So, although they were not born on their home planet, each of them knew that their hometown was the home planet.It's 300,000 kilometers away, but there's no going back.Hao Ren decides to fulfill the exiles' wish to return home, but before he can do so, he first enters the fortress and has a face-to-face conversation with the ruler of the surviving civilization, and he wants to meet the humans who have survived to this day, and even more so to meet the mastermind who may have malfunctioned and become a destabilizing factor."
It sounds like the fortress is well defended, but this thing is certainly not fully enclosed right now," he said, glancing at N-6, knowing that the robot lady must have something to say, "At least now that it's still serving as a command center on the moon, it must maintain the necessary connection to the planet - which connection will allow us to get in and out?"
”"Yes, the fortress is not fully enclosed - while most of its structure is encased in activated metal and repulsive force fields, it also needs to maintain a physical connection to the various information nodes on the lunar base, and it also needs to rely on several nearby reactors for energy, and these energy pipes and cables should come in handy," N-6 said, but finally reminded me, "But I'm just a mass-produced combat agent, and that's all I know, What happens to you after you get into those pipes is up to you. ”"Don't worry, improvisation is my specialty," Hao Ren smiled quite confidently, "You may not believe it, there is an even more awesome boss above my head, and my boss is responsible for randomness all year round, and I am responsible for adaptation......"
N-6 blinked innocently, as a serious artificial intelligence, she said that she didn't understand what Hao Ren's sneer meant.Hao Ren touched his nose in embarrassment, and dragged back the topic stiffly: "Okay, let's go—the mastermind should have received the report from the maintenance center at this moment." ”There was a modified Zenith fighter plane landing on the moon - this news could not be concealed forever, and soon the upper AI in the maintenance center and barracks area discovered the fighter plane returning from the Zenith battlefield, and found traces of the inside of the fighter, this information was reported to the mastermind as soon as possible, so one of the mastermind's normal servers quickly made a judgment that there was an intruder.Sirens sounded in every communication channel, and the guards near the fortress poured out, and a surveillance network ten times tighter than before was activated, and the area around the fortress became a quagmire that made it difficult for the intruders to fly almost instantly.However, at this time, Hao Ren and his party had already entered the fortress through a secret passage.It was a passage for transporting supplies, and its entrance was at the base of the fortress wall, and Hao Ren had torn down the protective wall near the passage before he had unknowingly entered it.The passage was wide and dimly lit, lined with several tracks, on which self-driving freight vehicles raced back and forth in a circular manner, carrying boxes of supplies into the fortress.Hao Ren used the data terminal to hack the host of one of the freight trains, and hid it in a certain section of the train with others, N-6 pointed to several canisters neatly stacked in the back half of the cargo box: "In addition to consuming a lot of energy during the operation of the main brain's server, it also needs to consume things like K/N medium solution, and some important chips in the server are soaked in these solutions." ”Vivien casually asked, "Isn't the fortress a self-sustaining facility?"
Why do you need external supplies?
”"It's self-sufficient, but when it's on the moon, it's still running on the logistics of the lunar base," N-6 explains, "and the fortress's self-sufficiency is for the worst-case scenario, and we don't use it when it's not necessary." ”At this time, Hao Ren suddenly felt a squirm in his clothes, and then the little mermaid poked his head out of his neckline, and the little guy stared straight in the direction of the depths of the fortress, a pair of bright eyes shining in the dim environment.The baby fish was very well-behaved along the way, and almost never took the initiative to show up, so Hao Ren was a little surprised at this time: "What's wrong?"
”The little mermaid didn't answer, just shook her head slightly, and clutched Hao Ren's collar tightly."
News from the Zenith 'battlefield'," the data terminal suddenly spoke at this time, "The resistance of the Zenith guard troops is becoming more and more intense, and the follow-up troops of the drone swarm cannot rush to the battlefield for the time being, coupled with the prohibition of the use of lethal weapons, the aircraft group is almost unable to maintain the blockade of the battlefield." ”"It's almost time for the reinforcements from the lunar base to arrive," N-6 said, "you're not really going to turn this into a war, are you?"
”"Of course not," Hao Ren laughed, "The mission goal of the drone swarm has been completed, and they were just a cover for our operation."
Terminal, tell Nolan to retreat with the group for a while - but don't run too fast, it's best to pull the Zenith troops around the high orbit a few times, and try to keep the mastermind's attention as long as possible. ”"Understood."
As he spoke, the automatic train transporting materials emitted a roar of mechanical friction, the body shook, and then entered the deceleration process, and the data terminal that was establishing a wireless connection with the train host flew into the air: "We have arrived at the destination, and this machine has downloaded the basic information of the cargo loading and unloading station from the database of the train host."
Waiting for the moment to temporarily distract from the nearby surveillance equipment, we left the train and exited through the left aisle. ”"From here on, it's the Titanium Guard's arming area," N-6 picked up the electromagnetic assault rifle from the side—the gun was given to her by N-4 when she set off, "The combat power of the Titanium Guards is not at the same level as ours in mass production, and they are directly controlled by the mastermind, and they are far stronger than regular armies in terms of combat skills and awareness, although you are also very strong, I still advise you not to be careless." ”Vivien smiled: "Don't worry, we have also dealt with all kinds of enemies, and we will not underestimate the enemy in any situation."
And you don't have to be nervous, your new body is stronger than before, you know that. ”The automatic train slowly stopped next to a metal platform, and a large number of mechanical claws and transfer platforms suspended in mid-air immediately rose from the platform, and these mechanical devices began to busily unload the goods on the train, while at the same time, several swift shadows flashed between the busy machines.According to the map data decoded by the data terminal, Hao Ren and his party successfully found the passage that could lead to the deeper part of the fortress.The limited light in the passage made the cold steel corridor even more eerie, and like the rest of the Lunar Base, the interior of the fortress was extremely deserted, and the deep corridor could only occasionally hear the muffled sound of some kind of machinery running or the hum of electricity coming from all corners, but such sounds only made the place seem more deadly.But the hallways aren't empty – there's the titanium guards guarding the main roads."
There's a guard up ahead," Lily, who was walking in front, was the first to stop, turning back and mouthing, "three." ”Hao Ren poked his head out of the corner of the corridor slightly, and sure enough, he saw three figures with guns in front of a gate in front of him - they were bionic soldiers who were taller than N-6, but unlike N-6, which completely imitated the appearance of humans, the surface of the three soldiers' bodies glowed with a cold light of metal, and they did not have biomimetic skin, but instead had a primitive steel shell, and a faint white light that swam between the cracks in the steel shell.The data terminal quickly scanned that the soldiers not only had a stronger body structure, but also a layer of shield.Sure enough, it is an elite body that is several times more advanced than ordinary agents.From here on, the entire security system of the fortress is directly controlled by the mastermind, and it is impossible to hide the eyes of this fortress from the eyes of this fortress whether it is injecting viruses into the monitoring system or interfering with it.However, the team had already managed to enter the fortress, and there were now only a few corridors and a few layers of alloy walls between them and the mastermind.So Hao Ren decided to say hello to the mastermind."
Vivien, you deal with the one on the left, I deal with the one in the middle, Lao Wang, you deal with the right.Lily and N-6, don't move, just stay put. ”After assigning the combat mission, Hao Ren immediately took out his censor's gun from his personal space, and then rushed out of the hiding place first.Moving, aiming, and shooting in one go, it is a hero in the bombing.This is followed by Vivien's bat plasma bomb (which is ball lightning) and Izax's Grimface fireball.The three Titanium Guards fell—one blasted into crystalline dust, one shattered by the electric current, and one burned into a half-molten state by a fireball of evil energy.Hao Ren immediately sensed that something was wrong.
